YOUR ESSENTIAL ROUND-UP FOR THE WEEK COMMENCING 23 March 2026

This Week’s Headlines: This week, our school put on a fantastic production of West Side Story. It ran for 2 hours on both Tuesday and Wednesday night, and the audience loved every second of it. Pupils from every year group contributed to performing and running the show, it was an excellent showcase of the talented people we have at St. Teresa’s, as well as some incredible teamwork and organisational skills. Bravo to everyone involved, you should be very proud of what you accomplished in this production!

On Thursday, we hosted the annual Academic Scholars dinner. This evening brought our scholars together for meaningful discussion, on thought-provoking topics and philosophical ideas. They got to enjoy a wonderfully prepared meal including sweet & sour chicken, sweet chili tofu and a delicious homemade chocolate brownie. St. Teresa's look forward to continuing this tradition with our excellent academic scholars.

Well done everyone for all their efforts this term, and I hope you all have a fun and restful Easter holiday.

Pupils got creative with their designs, producing a fantastic range of colourful and imaginative eggs to celebrate the season. Their artistic efforts added an extra layer of excitement in the runup to our big event!

With decorated eggs in hand, pupils took turns rolling them down the drive, all hoping to claim the title of this year’s Grand Champion! The event was full of excitement, laughter, and plenty of competitive spirit as ever yone cheered on their eggs.

Well done to all who took part, and congratulations to our Egg Rolling Champions of the year!

BOARDING What a fantastic final week of term we have had in boarding!

Our boarders enjoyed a beautiful and reflective Chapel Lenten Service, followed by an exciting trip to London for some well-earned shopping. Back at school, the Easter spirit was in full swing with a brilliant Easter egg hunt, bringing lots of fun and laughter to the houses.

We finished the week in style with a wonderful Boarders’ Celebration Meal, where there were plenty of Easter eggs, prizes, and smiles all round. It was a lovely way to come together and celebrate such a positive and successful term.

Wishing ever yone a ver y Happy Easter!

We look forward to welcoming ever yone back for lots of egg-citing weekend trips next term.

This Week A reading from the Gospel of John Jesus, seeing Mar y weeping, and the Jews who were come with her weeping, groaned in spirit and troubled himself… and he wept.

Jesus therefore came to the tomb… And he cried with a loud voice: “Lazarus, come forth!”

Ref lection As we come to the end of a busy term and continue our journey towards Easter may our hearts be raised up. For Christ is not distant to us. He enters our world and through His power transforms us. This is the central Christian hope. That Christ is Incarnate, present, in the here and now. Even in our places of grief and hurt. Have a wonderful Easter what ever you are up to and let us all pray for peace.

Prayer Lord Jesus, You stood with Martha, Mar y, and Lazarus in their moment of sadness.

Stand with us today in the places where we feel worried, tired, or weighed down.

Help us to support one another, to bring comfort where there is sadness, and to be signs of your love in our school community.

Amen.
